... Mendanbar’s sword is missing?! In the fiction book entitled, Calling on Dragons, by Patricia C. Wrede, Morwen and her friends, Telemain, Cimorene, Brandel, Killer, Scorn, and Trouble go on an adventure through and beyond the Enchanted Forest to find Mendanbar’s, the King of the Enchanted Forest’s, sword. They find that the sword is missing when they first go to figure out what caused Killer, a rabbit, to turn into a seven foot, eleven inch, blue donkey with large wings. When they found that Killer had eaten a clover patch that had been invaded by wizards, they decided to inform the King and Queen about it. Starting from the beginning, knock! Knock! Knock! Morwen encounters a visitor. It was Chairwitch Archaniz. She came to tell her about the complaints the Deadly Nightshade Gardening Club has been getting from Arona Michaelear Vamist. Morwen was in a gardening club for witches, since she was a witch herself, and was being told that the club was becoming too normal for witches. A few minutes had passed and Archaniz left. When Morwen started to walk in, one of her nine cats, Murgatroyd, Fiddlesticks, Miss Elizaa Tudor, Scorn, Jasmine, Trouble, Jasper Darlington Higgins IV, Chaos, and Aunt Ophelia, told her that Archaniz’s cat had been chased by a rabbit and they wanted her to go check it out. When they got to where the rabbit was at, they found his paw was stuck in a lilac bush. Morwen got his paw unstuck and asked for an explanation. Since nearly eight feet wasn’t a normal height...

...How to Approach a Case This is not the only approach that exists, but it’s a worthwhile one to try as you get started. 1. GETTING ORIENTED It’s useful to think of a case analysis as digging deeper and deeper into the layers of a case. 1. You start at the surface, Getting Oriented and examining the overall case landscape. 2. Then you begin to dig, Identifying Problems, as well as possible alternative solutions. 3. Digging deeper, Performing Analyses you identify information that exposes the issues, gather data, perform calculations that might provide insight. 4. Finally, you begin Action Planning to outline short-, medium-, and long-term well-defined steps. Typically, you’ll need to repeat this process multiple times, and as you do, you'll discover new analytical directions, evolving your assessment of the case and conclusion. a. Case Analysis Overview Analyzing a case is not just about digging. It’s also about climbing back out to examine what you’ve unearthed, deciding what it means, determining what to analyze next, and digging some more. Often your examination of information about a problem will change your idea of what the real problem is and about what to analyze next. The process is similar to when a detective investigating a crime shifts his or her opinion about the most likely suspect as more clues come to light. Gather your materials and tools. These include the case and any other related materials to supplement your reading...

...The record player and record were invented by Thomas Edison in 1877. Its first name was the phonograph. The first words ever recorded were “Mary had a little lamb”. The first record was made of paraffin paper and a embossing point to record sound. Using a metal cylinder with tin foil wrapped around it to produce sound. Later vinyl replaced the paper and a needle or stylus was also adapted to fit into the groove of the record. In 1963 William Powell Lear invented and patented the 8-track tape and its corresponding player. Then it was introduced to the public in 1966 when the Ford Motor Company introduced as the cutting-edge automotive accessory for the Ford Mustang (Techtarget.com). 8-tracks began to quickly replace the LP’s due to their portability and they would not warp or skip. During the 60’s the compact cassette was introduced to the public, it was not so much of a music playback system instead; it was used for personal recording and as dictation machine. Then during the 70’s cassettes became very popular when record industries such as Mercury saw the growing potential for their businesses. Later in the 80’s with the invention of the Sony Walkman portable player, and boom boxes; cassettes were the most popular formats to playback music. In the 70’s a music lover frustrated that vinyl records were easily damaged James T. Russell began developing a method to record music onto a photosensitive platter that would be read by a laser (ehow.com). But it was not until...

...Methods of Evangelism Romans Road Method Summary of Method – The Romans road method of evangelism is a way of leading the lost to salvation using verses from the book of Romans out of the Word of God. It is a very powerful and effective way of explaining why we need salvation, how God has provided us the way to salvation, how we are to receive it, and what’s the outcome after receiving it. Advantages of Using This Method – One advantage to this method is that it’s simple to understand. The biggest advantage is that we’re using the Word of God and by doing so we’re getting supernatural power by the Holy Spirit to start working on the person or persons we’re talking to. We’re not the ones that “close” people into salvation, it’s the Holy Spirit that does the work after we’ve planted and watered the seeds. Disadvantages of Using This Method – When using this message it could be really easy for the people hearing this to not fully understand the meat and potatoes behind salvation. Too many times than I care to count I see believers caring more about the numbers of people led to salvation than the actual quality of it. If not done correctly people tend to think that just simply saying the words is enough when it’s not. In order for true salvation to take place one must confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and “truly” believe it in their hearts or else they’re buying a “knock off” version of salvation and being misled which could be eternally damaging. I don’t know about...

...This can be seen when Clarisse is talking about her uncle to Montag, ‘"I sometimes think drivers don’t know what grass is, or flowers, because they never see them slowly. If you showed a driver a green blur, Oh yes! he’d say, that’s grass! A pink blur! That’s a rose garden! White blurs are houses. Brown blurs are cows. My uncle drove slowly on a highway once. He drove forty miles per hour and they jailed him for two days. Isn’t that funny, and sad, too?"’ (Bradbury 3) Clarisse said. In Fahrenheit 451, technology is everything. Nobody pays attention to life or the world around them. It is sad because no one appreciates the beautiful world around them, instead, they are stuck inside with the...

...Shareable Future of Cities Alex Steffen Climate change is already a heavy topic, and it’s getting heavier because we’re understanding that we need to do more than we are. We’re understanding, in fact, that those of us who live in the developed world need to be really pushing towards eliminating our emissions. That’s, to put it mildly, not what’s on the table[1] now. And it tends to feel a little overwhelming when we look at what is there in reality today and the magnitude[2] of the problem that we face. And when we have overwhelming problems in front of us, we tend to seek simple answers. And I think this is what we’ve done with climate change. We look at where the emissions are coming from -- they’re coming out of our tailpipes[3] and smokestacks[4] and so forth, and we say, okay, well the problem is that they’re coming out of fossil fuels[5] that we’re burning, so therefore, the answer must be to replace those fossil fuels with clean sources of energy. And while, of course, we do need clean energy, I would put to you that it’s possible that by looking at climate change as a clean energy generation problem, we’re in fact setting ourselves up not to solve it. And the reason why is that we live on a planet that is rapidly urbanizing. That shouldn’t be news to any of us. However, it’s hard sometimes to remember the extent of that urbanization. By mid-century, we’re going to have about eight billion -- perhaps more -- people living in cities or within a day’s travel of one. We...

...your fans would tweet like crazy. You have such phenomenal fans! I know you know that. They're so great. I mean they're so great. Prior to Wayward, I gained a pretty big following after Almost Human and The 100. They followed, but they weren't the most active. They weren't always the most engaged. And Wayward was definitely that show where--and I've always been pretty good or I try to be pretty good with responding and retweeting and favoriting and doing all the things--but they were really active. Asking questions. They were like, "Man, we're watching till we catch your character. We don't care if you're there for one minute." And I saw that a lot with Wayward. And I really, really love it and appreciate it. I happened to book a commercial during the time Wayward was airing, and on one of the days of shooting, it was on a Wednesday night. I don't know if you remember the tweet, but I literally--I do have two phones. One I use for talking, texting, and communicating, and the other I one I call my work phone where it has my email, my social mediam, etc.--and I was literally on this rooftop shooting this thing, and I'm on my other phone, watching Wayward Pines so I could still live tweet with the fans. And then there was the time I just did come back from Toronto where it had been Caravan time, and I was at this party with my friends, and I literally would step away for a few minutes time to watch that episode on the east coast feed to tweet a bit, then by the west coast feed...

...it takes precedence over our civility. We’re so preoccupied with our technology, mostly cell phones, that we let them get in the way of our manners. Many complain that often, people use their phones when in conversations, during class, in work meetings, etc. Also, people are more inclined to more rude because they feels as if they have an invisible cloak on when they’re behind a computer screen. This would not have happened way back when because society did not have this level of technology. Many do these rude things because, while they think it’s rude, they see everyone else doing it, therefore it must be fine to do. Social Organization Social hierarchy, especially in families, has changed drastically in the past 50-60 years. In the case of families, kids have gotten a bigger role in decisions, etc. This creates talking back when a kid doesn’t agree with a decision, a kid bossing their parents around, having a sense of entitlement, etc. Also, the elderly have had a decreased role in society today. With this, it is common to see people being rude to older people whether it be not giving up a seat on the bus or putting them in retirement homes. Signs and Symbols We have become more rude in the way that we show body language. We're more prone to showing how we feel in a rude manner, for example raising an eyebrow when we see something we don't like or approve, rolling our eyes when we don't agree with a decision, even texting when we're in a conversation which shows that we...

...This series of eight teachings is to help you hear the voice of God with greater clarity, consistency, and confidence. Your guide for this exciting journey is Rev. John Webster. It is our earnest prayer that your journey to hear God's voice is dramatically shortened and enhanced by this series with the first teaching entitled "Hearing God's Voice." I want to welcome you to hearing the voice of God now. It's been a long journey for me learning to hear the voice of the Lord. It didn't just happen overnight. Wouldn't it be wonderful with regard to hearing God's voice if I could just lay hands on each one of you and impart a divine supernatural ability that from this point on you would be hearing God's voice with clarity, consistency, and confidence. And we could just get this all done this morning with laying on of hands and impartation of gifts and stir that up. I would like to do that, but it doesn't work that way. That's not how it's developed. That's not how it's imparted to us. It's a learning process, like almost everything we do - it's a process. We learn it as we go and my process began some years ago in 1977 when I came to know the Lord - my heart was to always have an intimate relationship with the Lord and to bond with the Lord in a real intimate way. That requires communication doesn't it. Ladies can tell us that the basis for a good relationship is certainly communication. We men sometimes don't really understand that, but it's true nonetheless that a good relationship...

...harmony with mutual respects. So, what ONE Malaysia could means most to me, is a fair business playing field. With the advancement of today’s network communication, no one can continue to hide in isolation. We should take the leap and start prospering the country with strong entrepreneur’s ability. We should not confine ourselves to think an earning of one is an expense of another. Let’s be competitive and redefine the standards. To me, It should be something above race and religion. Eventually "Freedom" will prevails. Beside that, 1Malaysia is more like a "one nation sharing the same spirit of patriotism". perhaps we should name it as "1Malaysian", then we're talking about unity. 1Malaysia is more like a "one nation sharing the same spirit of patriotism". perhaps we should name it as "1Malaysian", then we're talking about unity.
